I went through some photos during my Christmas break and found the pictures from the Hot Beverage Bar that I created for the
Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop - Week 7 in a previous post. I made signs for each beverage with matboard shapes cut out with the
Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die - Treat Bag Toppers that were designed by Eileen Hull.
The signs were simply decorated with a little pen and ink with a wash of color and one thin coat of
Craft Twinkles glitter using
DecoArt Americana acrylics. I printed sign on the computer to identify each beverage. The coffee flavor is
Winter Frost made by Coffee Masters. I'm lucky to have a local resource for specialty and gourmet foods -
D'Masti Catering Inc. They also carry a variety of wonderful Hot Chocolate flavors!
.
Hot Cocoa stays warm in my thrift store find Thermos pot. You could also fill the Thermos with hot water and offer a basket filled with an assortment of Coffee Masters flavored Cocoa Amore. (Also available at
DMasti.com) my favorite is Chocolate Creme Bruelee) This tag is easier than the others and I painted the holly berries painted pink to match the pointsettia. I attached all the labels and ribbon with
Glue Dots.
The recipe for the Spiced Apple Cider in the crock pot can be found
HERE. I used a soft chenille fabric (found in the baby section) for the tablecloth because the bumps look like little snowballs. A green fabric napkin and my snowmen finish the display.
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home. Edith Sitwell
